Do Maxtra Oral Drops cause loose stools? How long should I wait between feeds?
Asked by Female, 32 · 29 days ago
Maxtra Oral Drops (Chlorpheniramine maleate and Phenylephrine) may sometimes cause loose stools as a side effect, but this is usually temporary. It is advisable to wait about 15 to 30 minutes after a feed before giving the drops to reduce stomach upset, or to follow the specific dosage and timing intervals prescribed by your paediatrician.
